During the past year using the remote control helicopters for aerial applications, a quantum leap into the mainstream. This is mainly due to more exposure in the press and so more people know what is possible. The basic technology is available for a while now, although recently has become cheaper, more reliable and with a few new innovations, much safer.

So how do you about getting your own aerial photography rig in the air? There are three important elements to consider:

* The helicopter airframe you want to use.
* The camera gimbal, monitoring and reviewing the system.
* Stabilisation and autopilot technology.

The best way to decide what to use remote controlled helicopter for aerial photography project is to first decide which camera or camera weight you want to use. If you decide for a budget option with a small point-and-shoot, then you can get away with a smaller helicopter to lift the weight. But if you want everything to go aerial photography DSLR, then a larger helicopter, at least a 600-class to lift the required weight. Stick with the benefits of electric motors low vibration and noise. The helicopter is a good build quality, be able to lift heavy loads to endure, and then adapted to your requirements, and Maxi Joker Line series are a popular choice.

Once you have a helicopter ready to go, or you can comfortably fly it. Then you look at the best way to connect your camera – for or under the wound. Both will work better in different situations, but I prefer a frontal system, because it is easier to isolate vibration, and proposes a better angle for filming. The weight can easily be offset by mounting batteries under the tail. Vibration isolation is important, it's definitely worth buying an expensive mount that does a better job of this. The control can be achieved by through half-radio system (operator and half is recommended). Controlling pan, tilt, roll, shutter speed and many other features like video setting possible left so you can see and frame your shots from the floor.

Remote controlled helicopters for flight stabilization has recently moved forward very quickly, with great new innovations and military UAV technology towards the commercial market. I would recommend at least a basic system, because it is a much more stable platform to shoot out. If you are an experienced pilot, this will be enough. But if your budget to meet the expenses, there are the autopilot capable of flying your helicopter aerial photography No manual entry via pre-programmed GPS waypoints. Security is also a major advantage of these systems, from holding the helicopter stable if the communication is lost has gone, to return to the take-off point automatically with the more advanced systems.

A final word should be said about the insurance and permission to work in the air to enter the UK. As far as I know there is no material available for small unmanned aerial vehicles in the United Kingdom, there has to cover for public liability and professional indemnity insurance, both of which I recommend quitting. Finally, the Civil Aviation Authority requires that aerial work performed in the United Kingdom authorized them to do it. They are regarded as the leading body in this area and so many other countries will follow their approach.
